FITS FROM
[VECTOR\]FITS OutputFile.fits FROM InputFile.gdf [/STYLE Style]
[/BITS Nbit]
Create a FITS file from a Gildas image or table. The layout of the FITS
file depends on the specified "Style", although default styles will be
used depending on the Gildas image (e.g. UVFITS is used for UV Tables,
STANDARD is used for images).
The number of bits is controlled by "Nbit". It defaults to -32 for im-
ages, and +16 for UV data. See subtopic for details.
Note that, in order to conform Calabretta & Greisen 2002 formalism and
recommendations (which define the FITS description of the spatial pro-
jections of the celestial sphere), radio-projected maps are exported to
FITS under the Sanson-Flamsteed (SFL) description, by properly redefin-
ing the reference point on the Equator with no need for reprojection of
the data itself.
Options /BLC and /TRC are not available in this direction.
